Perhaps I will think about adding such functionality later, but it is quite complicated due to number of different license templates, fact that the uploader of the image can be someone different from the author and so on. There is no such thing as machine-readable image description on Wikimedia projects. Frankly, I think the only thing a program can do is to provide a list of used graphics, so that it would be faster for human to add required information.

It may be easier to create a table at the end that lists all the
images, and provides a URL to the description page. Include a note
that says "These images may be released under a separate license. See
the individual description pages for details". It's not perfect, but
it's a start.
